Joie de vivre

So my Golden Retriever Chance really adores stuffed animals.  Being a retriever, not only does he greet you with a plush toy but also has a tendency to carry around socks and dish towels.  Being a rescued dog that was abandoned and on the streets for several months, he has anxiety about going outside, so he takes his toys with him.  Lately he’s been leaving his bright pink stuffed pig out in the yard.  So Thursday the pig was out in the grass.  Friday the pig was last seen on the back porch near the door.  Saturday morning it was found wedged in between the pickets of the fence…as if it was part of some ritualistic sacrifice, left there on the stake to bake in the sun.  So all of us are just standing around like this…image

Saying things like…”Did you put it there?” 

“I don’t know how it got there”

“How the fuck did it get there?!? 

Did it walk off the porch, crawl up the fence and straddle the damn thing?”

Despite that weird occurrence, we then find a MUTILATED bird left on our porch in the place where the stuffed pig was.  A REAL bird…like NO body, just the FUCKING WINGS.  WHAT THE FUCK.

So now we’ve concluded that perhaps an owl/hawk picked up the pig, realized it wasn’t a carcass, dropped it on the fence, returned and then, proceeded to murder and ingest a real bird, leaving us the remains as a fuck you from the beast for confusing it/bruising his ego. 

GET SOME FUCKING GLASSES OWL/MYSTERY BEAST!
